He values only his own skill and takes no advice from others, only lessons taught by failure. He is a man who "is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best" with his training and strives to constantly improve. He is a "nonconformist"; he does not share in his peers' peaceful lifestyle.]]> 2018-11-26 18:48:48 UTC https://padlet.com/dzhou7505/eaupf6v8iwfe/wish/307958368 Song Influenced by Emerson dzhou7505 https://padlet.com/dzhou7505/eaupf6v8iwfe/wish/307965772 Diamond Heart is a song that takes influence from Emerson's ideas on self reliance. The lyrics "I'd walk straight through the bullet
Bendin' like a tulip, blue-eyed and foolish
Never mind the bruises
Into the fire, breakin' through the wires" reflect the transcendence of the speaker's spirit as a result of separation from society to improve herself.]]> 2018-11-26 19:01:22 UTC https://padlet.com/dzhou7505/eaupf6v8iwfe/wish/307965772 Other misunderstood thinkers: Christopher Columbus dzhou7505 https://padlet.com/dzhou7505/eaupf6v8iwfe/wish/307968029 Christopher Columbus was misunderstood in the regard that no one believed it was possible to reach Asia sailing West. The discovery of new land proved there was more to be explored and over time people realized travel to Asia could be achieved by sailing around the American continents. Although Columbus was not correct, he was not entirely incorrect and misunderstood in his time.]]> 2018-11-26 19:05:55 UTC https://padlet.com/dzhou7505/eaupf6v8iwfe/wish/307968029 Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of our own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world. dzhou7505 https://padlet.com/dzhou7505/eaupf6v8iwfe/wish/307972558 2018-11-26 19:13:40 UTC https://padlet.com/dzhou7505/eaupf6v8iwfe/wish/307972558
